Andy Fusco - Out Of The Dark

Full-bodied alto saxophonist has a piercing cry in his tone, not unlike Jackie McLean - he also has a melodic take on Bird-to-Coltrane harmonic vocabulary, a slippery conception of line that makes you think of Lee Konitz at bullet train velocity - this quintet setting features Joe Magnarelli, Joel Weiskopf, Peter Washington & Billy Drummond.
